Running Outlook 2003 on Windows Vista.

My computer is getting so sluggish that it barely runs, so I want to
reformat the hard drive, reload everything from the factory restore
CD, and start fresh. But before I do that, I have to save everything
that I want to keep, and then restore it later.

How do I backup and restore the data associated with Outlook 2003?
Mail server data, email addresses, kept messages, etc.

You cannot backup mail account settings

I think you'll find that the "Save My Settings" tool on Office 2003 will
include mail account settings.
